Store ratings include star-only taps from in-app prompts, which skew high. The peak and recent figures come only from people who wrote a review, which skews low. Compare each against itself: the drop is the signal, and a big gap between the two usually means heavy rating prompting is masking unhappy users.

It used to be more accurate

★★ · v4.30.2 · Oct 10, 2026

The accuracy appears to have gone down since I started using the app 10 months ago. It will start a trip several hundreds of meters after I started driving. It will continue recording a trip long after I've stopped driving. Sometimes it thinks I drove through houses and buildings, giving inaccurate readings.

Won’t open

★★ · v4.30.1 · Oct 7, 2026

I used to really like this app, and I use it every day, but it will no longer open from the app icon, I have to go into the App Store and open it from there. Very inconvenient and I miss miles

Last update locks more things.

★ · v4.30.1 · Sep 24, 2026

Your app has few things available on the free tiers and the rest on the paid one. The paid one is outrageous for what it offers. Was using the free one for a while and the limited things were working enough for my purpose. Your last update locks more things even on the free one making this app useless. I will uninstall it and stop using it.

Very disappointed

★ · v4.29.0 · Aug 27, 2026

I do t mind paying for apps but I was not aware this app was a paid app. I used for this week only and it locked my data and didn’t work without my monthly subscription fee. Be more upfront. I deleted the app and downloaded another app and am paying. I don’t like being deceived.

Worst app

★ · v4.28.4 · Jul 6, 2026

Worst app I was getting license and they tryna make me pay just to show I was driving. Don’t download

Not reliable

★ · v4.27.3 · Apr 14, 2026

The app uses a huge amount of battery life and unless you keep it “always on” instead of “only when using,” it won’t track your mileage and trips.

Not free

★ · v4.27.1 · Apr 5, 2026

Deceptive. Don’t start with it

Deceptive

★ · v4.27.0 · Mar 21, 2026

No where in any of the descriptions does it say you will have to subscribe after 5 trips for $11/month.

Predatory

★ · v4.26.5 · Feb 27, 2026

Will not bar you from making trips past the “free 15 trips a month”, so you keep making trips that are obfuscated. Will simply gatekeep your tax information behind a paywall. Thankfully, you can just screenshot all trips and do the math. Do not use, this is a scam app.

Can't export

★★ · v4.26.4 · Feb 16, 2026

Can't export data for tax records. The app just closes.

This app sucks

★ · v4.26.4 · Feb 15, 2026

So i got this because i’m 1099 now, I’ve been tracking my mileage for two months only to find out i have to pay to see how much mileage i used. I got this app to save me money not force me to spend more- also when you’re using gps the navigation from this app keeps popping up and it confuses me while im driving and has almost made me crash because i can’t see my map because it switched to this app- i feel really mislead by this app and i now i have to manually track all my mileage since i can’t afford to see what i’ve logged. Thanks.

Used to be great

★ · v4.26.3 · Feb 1, 2026

The App development team, unfortunately got greedy and after three months of using the app if he became bait and switch. Now, when you log a trip, it only shows you the first leg, and you can’t see the return trip in the app. It used to be that unless you paid premium, you simply could not view all of your trips and can only view the last 15. But they would all still save. Now you can’t even view your last 15 trips, and when you put new trips in the app, if you make a mistake and Need to change the time or address on the second leg of the trip you can’t because it’s hidden. They’re doing this to force people to go pay $10/m for an app to simply log trip miles, which is ridiculous. Their support has been very nice and responsive however, being nice doesn’t cancel out being exuberant and charging your customers for simple expecting features that used to work, I no longer work just because they decided to change things. I no longer can recommend this app as unfortunately to do anything in it. You have to pay money now and it’s simply not worth it just to track Miles and you could use Google sheets or another app that is cheaper. Part of any typos as I used voice to text.

Hard

★ · v4.26.0 · Jan 8, 2026

Makes a simple task very hard. Obvious question’s not asked ie what vehicle. Destinations are hard Very small fonts. Lots of useless menus. Manual tracking was just pathetic. Just not a logical app.

Terribly inaccurate

★ · v4.25.3 · Dec 30, 2025

Honestly not a big fan. Accuracy is off. It’ll continue recovering for hours after you stop. And then combine it together with the next trip. Contacted support about it multiple times and got nothing but excuses as to why it’s my fault it’s doing that rather than working on fixing the problem

It works

★ · v4.25.2 · Dec 14, 2025

it’s keeps up with miles but then they want you to subscribe just use your trip odometer

Bicycle rides get counted as trips

★ · v4.24.1 · Oct 24, 2025

My daughter is disabled so we bike ride very slowly and Driversnote counts it as a drive

what’s the point

★ · v4.24.0 · Sep 27, 2025

genuinely have no idea what the point of this app is, if you have to pay to see all your trips. a monthly subscription? so dumb.

NOT FREE

★ · v4.24.0 · Sep 25, 2025

Pisses me off that some apps are free only initially. I was suppose to track my work for a month, now in the second week have to find another app. LAME

Garbage App

★ · v4.24.0 · Sep 19, 2025

The app freezes about every other time I use it. I have twice lost 300 mile days logged due to getting to the end of my day and I try to hit the stop button and it’s frozen it. I close the app and reopen it and it stays frozen. When you contact customer support , they waste my time with stupid questions and delay tactics. First they try to act like I’ve opened another account with another email address; I didn’t. Then they act like well you know maybe you’ve got it on more than one device like I’m too stupid to know if I’m using the app on another device and that explains it freezing. Or I’ve opened another account. They use stall tactics. They don’t really make any effort to help you. I strongly discourage anybody from downloading it and trying to use it. I gave it a One cause there’s no zero. It is a garbage app and I do not recommend the app. Wet toilet paper is more useful than the customer service department for this app.

Use to love this App, HORRIBLE customer service

★★ · v4.22.4 · Aug 5, 2025

The sad part about this review is I loved this app. I told everyone about it and it was reasonable in the fact that you could get a free monthly amount of the miles you drove. Well all the sudden the company decided to stop after I have been relying on them as a company to gain this information after the month has already been over. The monthly payment is $15, which I think is absurd. Customer service was extremely rude and unwilling to help. I do not recommend this app due to. They scammy ways, there are so many more apps just don’t use this one!

To many clicks

★ · v4.22.4 · Jul 9, 2025

I use to only have to do 2 clicks now it’s 4. I now have to pull over to do what I use to do in 2 quick clicks. This was not an upgrade! I will be looking for another app that is more user friendly. Just so you know, user friendly means the lowest possible clicks not adding more on.

Do Not Download!!!!!

★ · v4.22.2 · Jun 16, 2025

They updated their application and now I cannot see any trips because I am over their “free limit”. I was going to purchase their application but now I will not be due to their predatory behavior. What else are they going to do, add another tier and make all of my other trips inaccessible until I upgrade. I do not trust them and I’m incredibly disappointed in their horrendous update to force sales.

Horrible! Will make you phone slow

★ · v4.22.1 · Jun 4, 2025

Do not use this app if you’re a gig worker. It has to be running to track you and the result is losing all the good offers because this app kills a phone speed. I wondered why my Spark app was slow and freezing but as soon as I turned this app off the Spark app worked fast. This app is taking money and your time

Not paying $168 a year

★ · v4.21.3 · May 2, 2025

Used this app for about a year w/o paying a subscription and was able to see all of my trips. They have all of a sudden blocked being able to see the mileage for any trips after 15 trips per month. With so many other options out there, I am not paying $168 a year just to track my mileage.

False Advertising

★ · v4.21.3 · May 1, 2025

I’ve been on the Lite plan for about a year, which is supposed to be free for 15 trips per month. Ever since last month, it says my trip limit is exceeded and has hidden my data. I recorded 8 trips last month and 4 this month…last time I checked both of these were less than 15. UPDATE: I just heard back from the developer and contrary to what their app says (that you get 15 trips/month) apparently they have recently decided to change that to 15 trips total…if I could rate this app ZERO stars I would.

The opportunity

What would it take to build a viable competitor, what would it cost to run every month, and a prompt to get started. Generated from the reviews on file; one LLM call per brief. Set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY for a real brief; the stub only fills in a template.
